Natural Resources and Environmental Studies (NRES) is one of four primary research themes at UNBC: improving understanding of phenomena and processes related to the atmospheric sciences is a key component of this work. Our faculty are members of the university's NRES Institute, which seeks to promote inter-disciplinary studies spanning the physical environment, ecology, biology and the social sciences.
